I'll be honest, I bout the switch for a party game with friends experience....

A lot of my personal enjoyment of MK comes from learning the courses themselves, then using said advantage to win the race. The more you play the more it grows on you. At first it may seem as pure luck on opponent's end, but it's not.

And I can understand that you don't particularly enjoy MK8D, but comparing it to Horizon and its score does not make a point. Both are excellent games, but maybe not your cup of tea.

Don't base your purchases too much on Metacritic and reviews in general. For example, I looked at reviews for Has Been Heroes and I was almost not going to buy it. I couldn't be happier that I trusted my judgement and went for it, favorite indie game so far for me.

With Switch you have full home console and full handheld experience in one, you also have full local multiplayer on to go in handheld or table top model, you have two controllers for multiplayer out of box, Zelda BotW full home console Zelda and one of best games ever, whil MK8D is probably best MK game ever (most complete and biggest content), and thats isnt just IMO, but that's fact buy reviews.

Horizon and MK8D are two totally different kind of games, and reviews suggest than MK8D doing things much better in own gener than Horizon is doing that, MK8D is probably best MK game ever and most complete with biggest content.

You really just sound salty beacuse Switch is so well received and so popular while Vita failed (there are good reasons why Vita faield), and why Zelda BotW and MK8D are both critically acclaimed games and have higher scores than Horizon.

You really don't need to pay attention when Sony fanboy is talking about Nintendo product.

Look at me guys, I went to a Chinese restaurant last weekend. I´m not "biased", I swear.

About your question why PSV floped, since Sony dropped the system quite early, that´s the most deserving outcome for anyone reasonable. Really petty of you suggesting Switch deserves to flop, because that´s exactly what your post boils down to.

In general, there are more than enough first impression threads, no need for personalized ones.

Leo-J, it really seems like the Switch isn't for you.
It's basically like one of those old arcade game machines: It will only play one particular game, called "Zelda".

But Nintendo gave the system a clever feature: They promised that later on, a second game called "Super Mario" will be released that can actually be played on the same hardware!
So, imagine the Switch as a kind of revolutionary arcade game machine that has not just ONE, but actually TWO games that you can SWITCH between!

So, where's the point in buying an arcade machine if one isn't interested in the game it runs?

Lots of reasons, but primarily a lack of compelling software.

Apparently someone with over 150k points, and have been here for almost 10 years....... but somehow I don't see that in this thread...... :p 

The OP is missing some positivity to offset the negativity, but then I guess it wouldn't have replies.
Update it with your experience with the joycons as you mentioned later on.

You already have MK8D, but there is also:

Super Bomberman R

Just Dance 2017

1-2-Switch

Snipperclips

World of Goo

Jackbox Party Pack 3

Puyo Puyo Tetris

And this month there's also: NBA Playgrounds, Minecraft, Ultra Street Fighter II, etc

He asked who he is, not what his name is.

That's where you failed

I purchased Mario Kart 8 on Wii U and almost never touch them unless friends played it with me when they came to my house 

I recommended you exchange that game with Zelda, that's where the money should go, you know
